    Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament Samuel Nartey George, has commended the parliament after the house made another step towards the passage of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

    This comes after Sam George recently expressed his dissatisfaction over the protracted passage of the anti-gay legislation.

    He claimed that the members of the Parliamentary Majority are impeding the bill.

    He claimed that the process has been hampered by the influence of some Majority MPs on those who have an interest in seeing LGBT activities promoted across the nation.

    Samuel George, the bill’s supporter, told reporters in Parliament that the Majority caucus’ attempts to weaken the legislation would not be tolerated.

    However, Sam George took to his X (formerly Twitter) to provide an update on the passage of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill in parliament.

    According to the unconventional NDC MP, parliament has successfully completed about 25% of the current amendments.

    He thanked Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson and Majority Leader, Hon. Kyei-Mensah Bonsu for their tireless support in seeing the bill passed, adding that parliament had a productive debate on the passage of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

    Sam George revealed that on Monday, 11th December, 2023, they will continue their discussion the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

    This afternoon, the @parliament_gh under the able leadership of @askbagbin commenced the consideration stage of the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021. We successfully completed about 25% of the current amendments.

    Relatedly, before going into recess, the House will make sure that the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill (LGBTQI+ bill) is passed, according to Speaker of the House Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.

    As he added his voice to the LGBTQI bill, Alab Bagbin expressed his optimism that it would pass before the House adjourns for the holidays.

    He underscored the group’s expectation that the legislation be addressed as soon as possible, stressing that failure to act on it before the recess could have a negative impact on members’ political careers.

    The rights of LGBTQ+ people are not specifically protected by law in Ghana. Ghana’s Criminal Offenses Act of 1960, Section 104(1)(b), makes same-sex sexual activity illegal.

    According to this law, having “unnatural carnal knowledge” is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum three-year jail sentence.

    Several religious, cultural, and political groups have opposed the advocacy of LGBTQ+ rights.

    There have been incidents of violence, harassment, and arbitrary arrests directed at people who are thought to be LGBTQ+ in recent years.
